Spain Digital Nomad Visa: Scam Alert & Real Criteria
Spain Digital Nomad Visa: Scam Alert & Real Criteria
Stop Getting Fooled by Fake Agents! Expert Advice by AA Study Consultant
The Truth About Digital Nomad Visa Scams in Pakistan
Whenever a new visa program is launched, scammers in Pakistan become extremely active. We saw it with the Australian Lottery Visa (where Pakistan wasn’t even eligible), and now it’s happening with the Spain Digital Nomad Visa. Fake agents are promising visas for “Rs. 21,500” or similar amounts, trapping innocent people [00:00:12].
At AA Study Consultant, our mission is to provide you with the cold, hard facts. Awais Chaudhary, who is personally in Spain, warns that while the visa is real, only about 3-4% of people in Pakistan actually meet the strict eligibility criteria [00:00:27].
Awais Chaudhary explains why you must be careful with ‘too good to be true’ offers.
Are You Actually Eligible? (The Real Requirements)
Don’t waste your money on agents before checking these mandatory requirements. To qualify for a Digital Nomad Visa, you must be a genuine remote worker or freelancer [00:00:27].
1. Financial Income Threshold
You must prove a permanent monthly income of at least €2,500 (approx. 7.5 Lakh+ PKR) for the last 6 to 12 months [00:00:32].
2. Source of Income
This income must come from a reputable international company or platform (like Upwork, Fiverr, or a direct foreign employer). You need the Portfolio and official proof from the company you work for [00:00:45].
3. The 80/20 Rule
At least 80% of your income must come from sources outside of Spain and your home country. Only 20% is allowed from within your home country [00:01:02].
Visa Duration & Work Rights
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Visa Validity | Initially 1 Year (Renewable) [00:01:14] |
| Local Work Rights | You CANNOT work for a Spanish company; you must remain a remote worker [00:01:10]. |
| Path to PR/Citizenship | Eligible for PR and Passport after fulfilling residency years [00:01:17]. |
💡 Expert Advice: Verify Before You Pay!
Awais Chaudhary strongly recommends checking the Official Spanish Government Website before trusting any agent [00:01:22]. Scammers often create fake “lottery” or “guaranteed” scenarios that don’t exist in reality. If an agent promises a visa without checking your income proof or company portfolio, it’s a 100% scam.
